Atlas for the Diagnosis of Tumors in the Dog and Cat

Description 

Atlas for the Diagnosis of Tumors in the Dog and Cat is a diagnostic tool for determining if samples are abnormal and defining the cause of the abnormality, with 386 clinical images depicting normal and abnormal results, the book begins by describing specific types of neoplasia.

• Offers a brief overview of the methods used to produce a diagnosis and prognosis from a biopsy tissue sample
• Pairs photographs of biopsy samples with photomicrographs of cells obtained via fine needle aspirate
• Includes a useful chapter covering sample handling, staining, and shipping
